I opted to get this instead of the Asus Zephyrus 14 because gaming is not the only thing I want from an ultraportable laptop. The Asus is obviously bigger, heavier and packs more power with the AMD and RTX combination. I don't know why Asus would do this but that silver keyboard with the terrible white backlight that is also not uniform is just plain ignorance in my humble opinion. I have their s13 with silver keys and orange lettering and that was more tolerable. There are other aspects I don't like but it all boils down to personal tastes and what you are willing to overlook. This is where this Razer comes in. It just sits in the middle and although the GPU cant compete with the likes of Asus you have to realize that this is a more portable machine. It games well when you tone down the graphical settings but it also does everything else perfectly for my use. This laptop is very well built and does not run hot while doing normal everyday productivity work. It's very quiet when doing regular stuff. The battery lasts a long time, it charges quickly and I rarely hear the fans if not at all except for gaming.
The keyboard is perfect for me, the spacing of the keys and wide touchpad is way better than the XPS13 I had. The audio quality is also very good, it gets very loud and clear. What I appreciate is that the keyboard lighting can go from very dim to bright, the screen can get very dim also and that combination is very good for your eyes at night. It's just so comfortable to use. This is a beautifully built machine that is ultraportable and could run games well enough. This is truly a jack of all trades but if you want the best gaming experience and do stuff like video editing you should be looking elsewhere. In my opinion you get the quality look, feel, good performance and ultra portability so that combination is just perfect for me. You can obviously get more for less but not in a slim and light package like this!
There are other aspects that you should keep in mind like thunderbolt and ports so you should check YouTube for these particulars.
